from The Leader's Mindset · host LeDuc Leadership & Media Group

A weak one-on-one is not a time problem. It is a structure problem.When your one-on-ones keep getting canceled or drift into status updates, your team learns something you never meant to teach: this is not a priority. And the one place where small problems get surfaced early quietly disappears.In this Leadership TTP episode, Jason LeDuc breaks down a 10-minute weekly one-on-one format that actually works — so you can build alignment, remove friction, and increase trust without turning your calendar into a burden.💡 A conversation for leaders at every level… to talk about making one-on-ones a leadership advantage for:- New managers and first-time people leaders- Team leads whose 1:1s keep getting bumped by "urgent" work- Executives who want clearer priorities and fewer surprises- HR and L&D leaders coaching better manager habits🤔 What you will learn:- Why canceled one-on-ones quietly erode trust and signal "you are not a priority"- A simple 10-minute weekly one-on-one agenda you can run every week - Wins (minutes 1–2): what went well and where progress is happening - Roadblocks (minutes 3–5): what is slowing your people down - Priorities (minutes 6–8): the top 1–2 outcomes for next week - Support (minute 9): what they need from you — a decision, resources, a conversation, or protection from distractions - Commitments (minute 10): one commitment from them and one from you- The monthly "deeper question" that surfaces clarity gaps before they become problems - "What is one thing I could do to be a better leader for you?" - "Where do you feel unclear?"- Why one-on-ones are about alignment, support, and trust — not micromanagement🔑 Practical ideas you can use this week1) Set a non-negotiable 10-minute weekly cadence with each direct report — and keep it.2) Use the same agenda every time: wins, roadblocks, priorities, support, commitments.3) End every one-on-one with one commitment from them and one from you — then follow through.4) Once this month, add one deeper question to surface clarity gaps early.💬 Question for you:What is the one part of a one-on-one you tend to skip — wins, roadblocks, priorities, support, or commitments?If you got value from this episode, subscribe for more Leadership TTP content every week — practical tactics, techniques, and procedures you can use immediately.
